Federal prosecutors have issued grand jury subpoenas seeking business records from people who worked with former US national security adviser Michael Flynn when he was a private citizen, CNN reported Tuesday.

Citing people familiar with the matter, CNN said the subpoenas were issued by the US Attorney’s Office in Alexandria, Virginia. They targeted people who worked with Flynn on contracts after he was pushed out of his job as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014, it reported.
